RIP to AAR/SBL

Tucked away in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is the requirement that all visitors to the US must pay $250 just to enter the country starting 1 October! For a family of 5 that's $1250! I doubt this will help America's crashing tourism business which is down 10% already since January

SBL and AAR peeps, take note!

If Bad Bunny can cover the history of Puerto Rico, colonialism, transatlantic slavery, hemispheric consciousness, as well as contemporary life and politics in under 14 minutes, you can do your 15- or 20-minute conference presentation with time to spare.

Has AAR/SBL made any kind of recognition of this yet?

Scholarly orgs based in the U.S. that purport to be "international" are going to need to come to terms with what it means to continue holding their in-person gatherings in a country many people cannot travel to or no longer feel safe visiting for all kinds of reasons.

Looking at you, SBL/AAR.

In a move that *should* be precedent-setting for other scholarly organizations, the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport (NASSS) announces that this year’s conference will be held concurrently at sites in the US and Canada and online due to the dangerous US political climate.
1. We have decided not to host a single-site in-person conference in Seattle this year. Instead, we will have two in-person sites and a robust online participation option. While we are still working out the details, we will have an in-person conference site in Seattle, another in-person conference site in Vancouver, B.C., and significantly more opportunities for online participation than in years past, as well as opportunities for sessions that virtually bring together folx in the two in-person locations. We emphasize that we want your own safety and comfort to be the primary consideration as you decide whether and how to participate in this year’s conference. Wherever you live and whatever your citizenship status and/or subject position, we encourage you to carefully consider which of the three participation options (if any) you decide to take up. It is entirely up to you whether you feel safe or willing to cross a border or to travel at all. To help us with our organizational efforts, we will be sending out a very short survey in the coming days. It is imperative that we hear from as many NASSSers as possible both in terms of organizational efforts and to minimize our financial liabilities.

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it "San Diego," which of course in German means "SBL/AAR should meet here every year." #sblaar24

I don’t suppose anyone connected to the SBL or AAR would like to tell them that misspelling the name of a scholar like Phyllis Trible in the heading of a Memorial is a disgrace. #SBL #AAR

A picture of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. Ernie is labeled “AAR” and Bert is labeled “SBL.”

am pricing tickets to go to AAR/SBL in Denver and am seriously considering canceling my presentation and staying home

there is no way to get to Denver from the east coast for less than $500, and that is before paying for every seat on every flight

plus hotels. and meals.

Cincinnati just opened a major new convention center this year, and I’ve thought about how AAR/SBL could probably be much more affordable if booked in a midwest location like this.

Mexico City AAR/SBL would be awesome.

They should really consider hosting the annual meeting in Canada or Mexico. I think a meeting in Mexico City in late November would be well attended.

I submitted a proposal for AAR. ✅

I'd written an unrelated proposal for SBL, but unlike AAR, you have to be an active member of SBL, i.e. you have to pay simply for the privilege of /proposing/ a paper. I'll just find somewhere else to discuss the Persian Gospel Harmony/"Diatessaron"!
